Computer exercises:
There will be two compulsory labs, the first one in the fourth week and the second one in the sixth week. In each of these weeks there will several hours to choose from--- Monday 13.15, Thursday 8.15 or Thursday 15.15. One week before the lab, lists, on which you may sign up for the most convenient time, will appear at the Matematik LTH notice board to the right on the ground floor of the Math-building. Make sure that you have a proper login and password to enter the EFD computer network (those who do not should contact the lecturer well in advance).

Mini-Project:
Problems for the assignment will be handed out at the second lab. Please note that the last day to get your report approved is the week 47 (prel. November 21). This means that you have to hand it in earlier to be able to make any necessary corrections.
